Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has joined the LaLiga tribute to Txopo Iribar.

The Basque goalkeeper came out in the warm-up for Chelsea's match against Leeds wearing a black shirt with the name of Iribar and the number 80. This corresponds to the age that the legendary Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper has just turned.

Kepa, born in Ondarroa (Vizcaya), is an Athletic academy graduate and joined the tribute that Spanish goalkeepers have spontaneously paid to legendary Iribar for his eightieth birthday.

In yesterday's match between Real Sociedad and Cdiz, both Alex Remiro and Jeremias Ledesma played the entire match in black for Iribar.
